@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @JTHorlings @justinmcook @d_mulder @RosePillay1 @JerTinsley @tdwilliams90 @MisterCavey @MikeRiez @DarrenL_PCS I lean on Parker Palmer’s wisdom here: “as I teach, I project the condition of my soul onto my students, my subject, and our way of being together.” In the togetherness is where our students want to know and be known.

Super proud of our #TeachingforTransformation gallery walk displays showing off the work SWCHS teachers have put in to their deep hope and course storyline invitations for our students. Parents got a chance to see what beautiful faith and learning integration can look like.

"To name God's story is not enough; teachers and students need to be active in the story while they learn. TfT is a compilation of practices that empower teachers and learners, the people of God's story, to be active within the story." – @DarrylDeboer

@PeterWelle Likewise, my friend. I’ve learned a lot from you. Good to journey together in life and vocation.

Honored to have my sister Krista, an ER doctor in NJ, share her experiences of helping patients navigate COVID-19 with my SWCHS students today. A huge thank you to all the health care workers for your service!… https://t.co/RR8JVh8Pyw

Still in awe of the adventure captured aboard the high-altitude balloon system we launched @swchsstars to 80,500’ Friday. Real STEM work for our students & faculty in the construction, launch, chase & retrieval. #deeperlearning #higherlearning #curiousdesigners #TfT #HAB

@PeterWelle I have loved his 12- episode podcast of his Justice course from Harvard. Definitely worth a watch.

What a privilege to have the grandparents of my students join us for biology. Memorable to hear about their HS biology experiences...the study of life and its Creator is unforgettable. #lifelonglearners #standingroomonly #deeperlearning #neverstoplearning #teach-’em&reach-’em

Dr. Benson had a lot of wise students in his class today for our annual grandparents day!
